7MS #303: Evaluating Endpoint Protection Solutions

I'm working on a fun project right now where I'm evaluating endpoint protection solutions for a client. They're faced with a choice of either refreshing endpoints to the latest gen of their current product, or doing a rip and replace with something else.

I've spun up a standalone AD environment with ~5 Win 10 VMs and nothing on 'em except a current set of patches. The idea is I can assign each workstation VM an install of INSERT_NAME_OF_POPULAR_AV_VENDOR_HERE and have somewhat of a "bake off."

Now what I'm finding is there are great sites like [AV Test](AV Test) or AV-Comparatives do a nice job of breaking down what kind of performance, features, and management offerings a given vendor has. But what I haven't found is some structured testing for "act like a bad guy" actions. I'm thinking things like:

  • Mimikatz tomfoolery
  • Lateral attacks with Metasploit shells
  • Egress port scanning (to find an acceptable outbound port for C2 or data exfil)
  • Jacking around with various PowerShell scripts and commands

However, thanks to some awesome friends on Slack they pointed me to what looks to be a nice set of scripts/tests - many of which could be used to see what kind of behaviors the endpoint protection will catch. So coming up in part #2 of this series, I'll do a deeper dive into:

7MS #640: Tales of Pentest Pwnage – Part 63

This was my favorite pentest tale of pwnage to date! There's a lot to cover in this episode so I'm going to try and bullet out the TLDR version here: Sprinkled farmer files around the environment Found high-priv boxes with WebClient enabled Added "ghost" machine to the Active Directory (we'll call it GHOSTY) RBCD attack to be able to impersonate a domain admin using the CIFS/SMB service against the victim system where some higher-priv users were sitting Use net.py to add myself to local admin on the victim host Find a vulnerable service to hijack and have run an evil, TGT-gathering Rubeus.exe – found that Credential Guard was cramping my style! Pulled the TGT from a host not protected with Credential Guard Figured out the stolen user's account has some "write" privileges to a domain controller Use rbcd.py to delegate from GHOSTY and to the domain controller Request a TGT for GHOSTY Use getST.py to impersonate CIFS using a domain admin account on the domain controller (important thing here was to specify the DC by its FQDN, not just hostname) Final move: use the domain admin ccache file to leverage net.py and add myself to the Active Directory Administrators group

7MS #638: Tales of Pentest Pwnage – Part 61

Today we're talking pentesting – specifically some mini gems that can help you escalate local/domain/SQL privileges: Check the C: drive! If you get local admin and the system itself looks boring, check root of C – might have some interesting scripts or folders with tools that have creds in them. Also look at Look at Get-ScheduledTasks Find ids and passwords easily in Snaffler output with this Snaffler cleaner script There's a ton of gold to (potentially) be found in SQL servers – check out my notes on using PowerUpSQL to find misconfigs and agent jobs you might able to abuse!

7MS #637: BPATTY[RELOADED] Release Party

Hello friends, I'm excited to release BPATTY[RELOADED] into the world at https://bpatty.rocks! – which stands for Brian's Pentesting and Technical Tips for You! It's a knowledge base of IT and security bits that help me do a better job doing security stuff! Today I do an ACTUAL 7-minute episode (GASP…what a concept!) covering my favorite bits on the site so far. Enjoy!

7MS #636: A Prelude to BPATTY(RELOADED)

Artificial hype alert! I'm working on a NEW version of BPATTY (Brian's Pentesting and Technical Tips for You), but it is delayed because of a weird domain name hostage negotiation situation. It's weird. But in the meantime I want to talk about the project (which is a pentest documentation library built on Docusaurus) and how I think it will be bigger/better/stronger/faster/cooler than BPATTY v1 (which is now in archive/read-only mode).

Today we're talking about eating the security dog food – specifically: Satisfying critical security control #1 Using the Atlassian family of tools to create a ticketing/change control system and wrap it into an asset inventory Leveraging Wazuh as a security monitoring system (with eventual plans to leverage its API to feed Atlassian inventory data)

Hi, today's tale of pentest pwnage covers a few wins and one loss: A cool opportunity to drop Farmer "crops" to a domain admin's desktop folder via PowerShell remote session Finding super sensitive data by dumpster-diving into a stale C:\Users\Domain-Admin profile Finding a vCenter database backup and being unable to pwn it using vcenter_saml_login

7MS #633: How to Create a Security Knowledgebase with Docusaurus

Hey friends, we're doing a little departure from our normal topics and focusing on how to create a security knowledgebase (is that one word or two?) using Docusaurus! It's cool, it's free, it's from Meta and you can get up and going in just a few commands – check out their getting started guide to get rockin' in about 5 minutes. Important files include: docusaurus.config.js – for setting the site title and key config settings sidebars.js – used to create/edit navigation bar menus /src/css/custom.css – to style the site
